Slovenia celebrates Easter

Easter was celebrated across most of Slovenia on 27 March with a wide range of traditions. Central to most families’ celebrations, however, was the traditional Easter dinner of ham, horseradish, eggs, bread and potica [ICE / 25.03.05 /Slovenia’s diverse Easter celebrations].

One of the most striking features of Slovene Easter is the traditional Easter eggs, called "pisanice," "rumenice," "remenke" or "pirhi," depending on where and in what manner they are made. A gallery of some of this year’s best eggs can be found here.
